If you're like me, the only thing you appreciate more than
reading is an excellent cup of coffee or tea. I start my day with an espresso
while afternoons are for tea. I will note that when I curl up with a great
book, I prefer a cup a tea to coffee. For some reason coffee doesn’t relax me
into the world I’m reading the way tea will.

It took me several years to transition from drip coffee to
French press, and ultimately espresso. But it was worth it. As you can see the
general trend has been less volume, stronger flavor, and more prep time with
each method.

The major reason I swear by espresso as the only way to drink
coffee in the morning, is the ritual of making it. It's a way to start my day
almost like a meditation, but better because there's caffeine at the end. The
anticipation while making the coffee is half the enjoyment. If you’ve never
tried a cup of espresso, I heartily recommend that you go try one.

I tweaked my recipe for the better part of a year, but I
think I’ve master the espresso ratios. The first step is finding the right
coffee. I recommend a strong blend with floral notes. Also, it’s best if you
buy whole bean and grind the beans yourself every morning, but not a requirement.

Recipe:

4 oz espresso

2 tsp sugar

Mix well

1.5 oz creamer

It should take about 5 minutes to drink and is best enjoyed
while doing nothing else. Find a comfortable seat, sip your coffee, and enjoy
life. By taking the time to make a great cup of coffee your days will be less
stressful, and you’ll have the energy to conquer the world.

I'd go into my version of a perfect cup of tea, but I might
start a war. Instead I'll leave a link to one of the greatest internet posts of
all time, also known as World War Tea.https://imgur.com/gallery/JsM1r

Nicholi (N.A.K. Baldron) is an author and avid reader. He likes stories that
take place in fictional worlds, with memorable characters.

He spends his days debating between whether it’s coffee or tea time,
and pecking away at his keyboard to produce stories for his readers.
He can be found strolling through one of the many wooded areas in the
small town outside of Austin, Texas that he calls home.

If he could have any power, it would be the power to control time; then
he could freeze it and find enough reading time. One of his deepest
regrets in life, is knowing he’ll never get around to reading all
the books on his to-be-read list.

Knowing how precious reading time is, he’s always honored when his readers
choose to spend their time on his stories.
